Re: [Neighbors] Starbucks & Art Committee for the Avenue Connect
by Ruth Ryals 02 Oct '14

02 Oct '14

The letter attachment in pdf was too large, so I have pasted it below. Hopefully the rendering of the mural will go thru! ************************* Please review the ³mural² Starbucks plans to put up at the corner of Shephard and Mass Ave. They are seeking a variance TONIGHT (7:30 pm, Senior Center, 806 Mass Ave) if you wish to attend. This case is first on the agenda. Sorry for the late notice Ruth! From: Ruth Ryals <rryals(a)comcast.net> Date: Thursday, October 2, 2014 at 3:51 PM To: "Pacheco, Maria" <mpacheco(a)cambridgema.gov> Subject: FW: Starbucks & Art Committee for the Avenue Connect Marian, Members of the Board of Zoning Appeal, This is the letterI sent to Starbucks re BZA-004957-2014 (the proposed mural at 1664-1668 Mass Ave) on the agenda tonight. I plan to be there to testify. I have also attached a copy of the MasterPlan for Mass Ave, adopted by the city and the neighborhood, now in the first phase of construction, which includes a process for the selection of art for the Avenue. Most importantly, it should be a community process allowing for neighborhood feedback and every opportunity to draw upon the art institutions and artists in our neighborhoods . I would ask that Starbucks withdraw it¹s petition and work with the community to decide on an appropriate art installtion for that wall, which is very prominent and visible to everyone walking or driving by on Mass Ave. Thank you for your attention, Ruth Co-Chair, Art Committee for the Avenue Member, Mass Ave Neighborhood Improvement Committee Ruth Ryals 115 Upland Rd. Cambridge, MA 02140 617-547-6453 617-834-4007 (c) Art Committee for the Avenue Mass Ave Neighborhood Improvement Committee representation from Agassiz Neighborhood and Neighborhood Nine, Lesley University, Art Institute of Boston, Maud Morgan Arts, Harvard University, and Local First Nick Migliaccio, NE Project Manager Starbucks Coffee Company 275 Grove Street Newton, MA 02466 Re: Shepard Post Mural Proposal Nick, We appreciate your response. Unfortunately, it is not very helpful to say that the town and neighbors need to accept your design/plan (which we never heard about until 2 days ago) or nothing will happen at that corner and Starbucks will not waste any more time or resources on a renovation. Our Mass Ave Neighborhood Improvement Committee has been working with the City of Cambridge Community Development Department for over five years developing the ³Massachusetts Avenue Harvard to Porter- The Avenue, Streetscape Master Plan and Public Infrastructure Standards² and now the construction phase that includes Starbucks. Starbucks gains extensive benefits from this work, additional seating as part of public art in front, additional outdoor seating space at the curb extension plaza on Shepard Street, and a significantly better streetscape environment. If you would all take a few minutes to look at the attached sketch of that corner, you would see a sidewalk extension on Shepherd St (ideal for your outdoor seating) and an art/planting/seating area in front of your building on Mass Ave (attached is competitively chosen artist¹s rendering). We are asking Starbucks to work with us to make the corner work for all of us. It should end up being something you are proud enough of to advertise as how Starbucks, even though it is a big corporation, works with local neighborhoods to make the coffee shop and the neighborhood a better place. And that corner should have a neighborhood friendly, coffee oriented, mural on the wall facing Shepard St. That process need not be lengthy or difficult; after all, we are the neighbors and we are already working with the city. However, the process is important. We are asking Starbucks to join us as a partner in selecting a design. Ruth p.s Attached is the formal letter, which we will be submitting to the BZA. We look forward to meeting the Starbucks representatives who will be in attendance.

[BULK] FW: Cambridge PD: CITYWIDE Alert - Current Trends in Phone Scams: Be Alert and Aware
by Ruth Ryals 01 Oct '14

01 Oct '14

From: CitizenObserver <alerts(a)citizenobserver.com> Reply-To: <alerts(a)citizenobserver.com> Date: Wednesday, October 1, 2014 at 4:00 PM To: Ruth Ryals <rryals(a)comcast.net> Subject: Cambridge PD: CITYWIDE Alert - Current Trends in Phone Scams: Be Alert and Aware Citizen Observer Cambridge PD: CITYWIDE Citizen Alert Current Trends in Phone Scams: Be Alert and Aware The phone rings and a phone number you do not recognize shows up on the caller ID. You pick up the phone and say hello. The voice on the other end of the line says that a family member has been in an accident and they will cause harm to them unless you send money, which will guarantee their safety. What do you do? This is only one of the many current phone scams that are plaguing U.S. residents every day. Phone scams are a multi-million dollar business for scammers, who mostly reside outside of the United States. With new scams popping up every day, trying to keep up with the current ones and the technology is difficult. Caller IDs may or may not show a real number, as scammers are taking to technology and using Caller ID spoofing to make their phone number appear as a legitimate number, like 911 or a police department. The following is an overview of some of the current phone scams, which have been recently reported to the Cambridge Police and neighboring police departments: TAX MONEY OWED TO THE IRS One of the largest scams at this time is an IRS tax-fee scam. This scam involves an individual receiving a phone call from a person claiming to be a federal agent with the IRS. The individual will usually know the person¹s name and will claim that they owe money in back taxes. The scammer will inform the person that if they do not pay their tax fees either by wiring money or using a pre-paid money card, they will be arrested. The caller ID will generally show as a Washington, DC (202) area code, and may even show up as the IRS. The IRS has issued alerts that they do not contact individuals via telephone for owed taxes. FAMILY MEMBER IN AN ACCIDENT Another scam involves an individual who calls a person and states that a relative of theirs has been involved in an accident. The individual knows the identity of the person who ³was in the accident² and uses threats and anger to try to convince the person being called that they will harm the relative. The caller will generally make the person stay on the phone while they go to a local store and purchase pre-paid money cards or wire money to the scammer. MICROSOFT COMPUTER ISSUE You may receive a phone call from an individual who states that they are from Microsoft and that there is an issue with your computer. The scammer will try to convince the person to go onto their computer and visit a particular website. By visiting this website, the user runs the risk of downloading malware or viruses to their computer, which would allow a criminal to have access to the information on the computer or use your computer¹s IP address to hide their identity. UTILITY COMPANY FEES You could receive a phone call from a utility company stating that you owe money and, if you don¹t immediately pay it off, your utility service will be shut off. This scam has been seen mainly with business customers. The scammer will request the business purchase pre-paid cards and provide the number to the scammer to keep their utilities on. IMMIGRATION WARRANT OR ARREST WARRANT You may receive a phone call from an individual claiming to be an agent of the Federal Government or a police department and they inform you of an immigration violation or an arrest warrant. The individual may then request you purchase pre-paid money cards or wire funds to clear up your warrant or violation. THE MYSTERIOUS TEXT MESSAGE FROM A BANK You could receive a text message from an unknown number stating that verification is needed on your account (bank or credit card). The scammers are hoping that people will contact the phone number provided in the text and provide information, which will result in unauthorized debits to your bank account or credit card. If you receive a text message from a financial institution, contact your bank at their customer service number and speak to a customer service representative. These are just a few examples of the many phone scams, which are being seen across the United States. Once you provide a scammer with a pre-paid money card number, the chance of you recovering the money is very slim. If you have doubts about a phone call you received, contact the company or organization who ³allegedly² called.
